Introduction



Having a small collection of Gotek drives I have always thought that the wire/cabling at the rear was vulnerable and needed some way to clamp the cables safely.

Looking on the internet I found this case from Printables.com which looked as if it would do a good job of keeping thing tidy. It can be a plain case or if you pick the appropiate .stl files it can have the BBC Micro owl logo.

I chose the plain version and uploaded the files to JLCPCB for 3D printing and a few weeks later this superb case was delivered. Full fitting instructions are on the web site and here are my photos:


The problem - no support for the cables particularly the power cable.


The parts as they arrived, then fitting and clamping the cables. I chose the basic clamp parts but there are various versions for power socket and feed through cables.


Case fitted.

I think I'll order a few more...
